it wasn't just a bad debate night. it's been a bad four years for president obama. but the next debate is not going to be a presidential debate. it will be a vice presidential debate and the pressure is on joe biden to live up to his reputation this week as a policy expert and as a skilled debater, but i expect he'll do just fine. this will be his 18th either presidential or vice presidential debate. he's had a lot of practice at it. paul ryan's first. but again, in that case, we think we have the facts and the issues on our side with the obama/biden team you'll get another four years like the last four years with the romney/ryan team, a real recovery with more jobs for everybody. >> now politico is reporting today that ann romney and tagg his son, one of his sons did an intervention to try to save the campaign if you will and let mitt be mitt and get the candidate to talk more about himself, talk more emotionally to give the foreign policy speech. in pushing back against some of the staff. can you help us out on that? what is the -- your perspective about it? >> i

what does the governor need to do in this tuesday night debate? >> well, i think governor romney needs to continue what he did in the last debate, which was put an appealing face on the kind of conservatism he and paul ryan are running on. he didn't really change his positions, although some people characterized it that way in the first debate. what he said was he identified with the values behind some of the things that president obama wants to do but says i've got a better way of achieving it, a less expensive way, if you're talking about domestic policy, a way to use the private market on health care. what president obama's got to do is to try to call the romney campaign out in a more effective way than he was able to do in denver or that joe biden was able to do with paul ryan last week in danville because joe biden, you know, some of the histrionics got in the way of his message. although, the aggressiveness is what the democrats want to see. >> let's talk about the trail. ohio this weekend, governor romney talking about this growing, his wor
